Sadie, that's beautiful!

How fun is THAT, to have a DH who is good with colors and will help SHOP FOR FABRICS! My DH truly appreciates the handiwork and skill of quilting, but he is color blind to the red spectrum...no help at all when it comes to color selection! Plus he sort of lives in the 1970's when dark brown, baby poo gold, and avocado green were considered "manly" colors. YECH!

Thanks everyone! I sure enjoy reading your comments and you all make me feel so good!

For those scared of all these points (I would be too), I used a QuiltSmart pattern. It's like paper piecing-no points at all. You cut all rectangles and it's the way you sew them on to the foundation that gets all those great points. It was really easy. The hardest part for me was figuring out the background triangles after getting the Lone Star sections done. There wasn't any instructions for those. (QIAD books spoiled me.)

Great Job! I love the colors - they work well together. I like the quilting too.

Lori,
That quilt is so pretty! Was it hard to make? Where did you get the pattern? Thanks so much for sharing.

Thanks for the compliments.

petlover, no it wasn't hard. Here is the link to QuiltSmart:

I believe QIAD has some QuiltSmart patterns or at least they did. I found this one at a LQS when I lived in AZ. I had it for about 2 years before I actually made it. It was lots of fun. I would like to do another one....maybe the Apple Core pattern with lots of scraps.
